sapinst gui problem

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am trying to start sapinst. when i give the command ./sapinst using xterm (xmanager), last line is:

guiengine: no gui connected; waiting for a connection on host <hostname>, port 21200 to continue with the installation

no response.

when i check the port 21200 (running or not) by telnet on the same host (telnet 10.192.25.97 21200) in other window, in the sapinst gui window next line appear which is as follows:

guiengine: login in process..................

guiengine: login timeout; the client was unable to establish a valid connection

still not response and gui is not appearing.

Ports are open. Java/java_home is ok. display env. is ok.

Kindly help in this regard.

Thanks,

Dear All,

Just an update and for others benefit.

Found the problem cause and resolved.

Port 21200 was open but server was not receiving the request of this port from PC automatically. But it was listening and establishing only when i command (telnet 10.192.25.97 21200) means with IP address. I compared the netstat -r (routing table) with other servers. And observed that hostname in netstat -r was different from actual hostname. System admin corrected and issue resolved.

Thanks for all who came forward with their thoughts and replies.

1). Check the firewall, whether its blocking or not.

2). Reboot the server and try again.

Hi Gaurav,

Additionally check if host file of the server where installation is triggered includes all required port information.

3200 to 3299 etc

Hello Gaurav,

It could due to JDK or other environmental variables. Please go through the following thread and take the necessary action if you have missed anything and let us know the result.

Hi,

Please make sure that you have all the pre-requisites required to run the sapinst for installation or export or import. Cross validate that your vnc (xwindow) have required enviornmental variable configured. Also as an alternate approach reboot your server once and then try to execute ./sapinst. I hope that you are starting the sapinst as root user.
